Our project has several bus stops within the 1/4 mile radius, and what I would consider to be the most direct route along the street to the stops is also within 1/4 mile walking distance. However, for a portion of the walking path (about 1/10 mile) there is no sidewalk or other pedestrian friendly route from the building to the bus stop. I can't find anything that says that the route has to be predefined with a sidewalk or path just that it must be within the 1/4 mile. Can anyone tell me if I'm over thinking it, or whether they will require some type of predefined path in order for these stops to be compliant?

Brett, I'm not sure it matters but I feel like it's useful to ask—do people in reality use this route as a pedestrian path, or for all intents and purposes, is it not a pedestrian path? If it's not, then I think clearly it should not qualify under this credit.If it is used by pedestrians safely, then I think the vagueness of the credit requirements play to your advantage and you should be able to make a case for it.
